A tribute to Springfield's favourite sweet-natured idiot...

One of the big reasons for the enduring success of The Simpsons (even if it's pretty much just spinning its wheels these days) is its incredible supporting roster of characters, who after 26 seasons feel almost as fleshed-out as the focal family themselves. Picking the funniest and most entertaining of these peripheral characters isn't easy: is it the perpetually unlucky Milhouse, the D-list failure that is Krusty the Clown, or the hilariously decrepit Hans Moleman? The answer might be Ralph Wiggum, the sweet-natured, good-hearted but undeniably stupid boy in Lisa's class, who is of course the son of police Chief Clancy Wiggum. Throughout the years, his hilariously dim-witted one-liners have created many of the show's funniest moments, and his popularity with audiences ensured that someone who began as a tertiary character has remained a constant mainstay throughout the show's run, even having a few completely character-centric episodes. Plus, how many Simpsons characters can say they've had a song written about all their classic one-liners by the Bloodhound Gang of all bands?
